Amen

“The show’s theme song is the insufferably smug sixties folk ditty ‘Little Boxes,’ by the protest singer Malvina Reynolds, an indictment of suburban conformity that you need to hear only once in your life, for historical purposes.”

—Nancy Franklin, writing about “Weeds” in The New Yorker.

My sister took guitar class in junior high summer school in 1965. The teacher had them sing "Little Boxes" so much that she and her friend Debbie finally rebelled, purposely singing out of tune and taking their hands off the guitar neck as they strummed jumbled chords.

Somehow this seems fitting.
